Definitions
- This invention relates to exercise machines for exercising the upper body portions and more particularly to such a machine which can be adjusted between horizontal and selected angulated vertical positions.
- the machine of the present invention utilizes a seat and back rest which are hinged to each other calibrated adjustment lever is provided on the seat by means f which the seat can be lowered to one of a number of selected positions with the portion connected to the back rest being lowered more than the front portion.
- the seat portion carries the lower part of the back rest along with it, bringing the back rest to a preselected angular vertical position.
- a pair of opposing lever arms are connected together through a swivel bracket on one end thereof a d supported pivotally on the support frame.
- the two arms run outwardly from each other at an angle of about 35 degrees.
- Handles re attached to the other end of the arms which are free. Adjustments are provided to adjust the position of the arms and the eight of the levers to accommodate various size persons.
- FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the levers and handles of the preferred embodiment
- FIG. 3 is a top perspective view illustrating the handle adjustment of the preferred embodiment
- FIG. 4 is a front perspective view illustrating the use of the system of the invention in a seated position
- FIG. 5 is a side perspective view illustrating the support of the levers on the frame in the preferred embodiment
- FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of the preferred embodiment showing the moving of the seat from its upper to its lower position
- FIG. 7 is a front perspective view illustrating the seat adjustment mechanism of the preferred embodiment
- FIG. 8 is an illustration showing the use of the preferred embodiment in a reclining position
- FIG. 9 is an illustration showing the use of the preferred embodiment in a semi reclining position
- FIG. 10 is an illustration showing the use of the preferred embodiment in a near upright position.
- FIG. 11 is a side elevational view showing an adjustment of the fixed position of the back rest in the preferred embodiment.
- FIGS 6 - 11 a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
- seat 12 is pivotally supported on frame 14 by means of support 15 which is adjustable to bring the seat downward to selected positions.
- This d result is achieved by means of gauge 16 which has an arcuate series of adjustment apertures formed therein.
- the support includes forward and rear post portions 15 a and 15 b interconnected by a horizontal cross piece 15 c to form a four-bar linkage with the frame 14 .
- Sup 15 has a pin 15 d which fits into any selected one of these apertures to position the seat and the attached back rest 13 at a desired position between horizontal and down adjacent to the se of frame 14 .
- the back rest is pivotally supported on post 19 which has an adjustment member 19 a for adjusting its height.
- the front end of back rest 13 is hinged to the rear of seat 2 and thus moves with the seat with its forward end moving downwardly as the seat is moved downwardly and with its rear end moving upwardly, as shown in the various Figures.
- Frame 14 has a base portion 14 b , side portions 14 c and 14 d , and an upper central portion 14 e which runs normally to base portion 14 b .
- Lever arms 22 and 23 are pivotally connected together at one end by swivel bracket assembly 26 which is supported on the upper central portion 14 e of the frame 14 .
- Swivel bracket assemble 26 comprises swivel brackets 20 and 21 horizontally angulated relative to each other with the pivot axes of the swivel brackets occupying a common plane with the central upper portion 14 e of the frame 14 .
- the arms extend outwardly away from each other at an angle of about 35 degrees between each arm and a longitudinal axis of the upper central portion 14 e .
- Handles 28 are attached to the opposite free ends of the arms for grasping by the user.
- the arms are pivotally on frame 14 by means of pivotal support 30 .
- Vertical adjustment apertures 14 a are provided in the frame to permit the height of the arms to be set for persons of different sizes.
- adjustment apertures are provided in the attachment posts 28 a of handles 28 to accommodate various size persons.
- the posts can be rotated 180 degrees to accommodate the situation.
- Posts 32 extend outwardly from the sides of the levers for mounting weights 33 .
- the user can exercise from a reclined position as shown in FIG. 8 , a semi-reclined position, as shown in FIG. 9 or a near upright position as shown in FIG. 10 , merely by adjusting the machine to these various positions, as shown in FIG. 6 .
